Untitled

Blackout is the fifth studio album by American pop singer Britney Spears.[4][5] It is scheduled for release on October 29 2007 in the U.K. and October 30 2007 in the U.S. and Canada. It is her first studio album of new material since In the Zone in 2003.

Album information

The album is Spears' first studio album in four years since In the Zone. The release date was scheduled for November 12, 2007 worldwide. The album date was pushed ahead to October 30, 2007, due to illegal releases of tracks from the album on the internet, as alleged by the record label.[6]

Fans have been upset at the chosen cover of the album and have started an online petition aimed at Jive Records to change it.[7][8] Sources claim that Spears herself dislikes the album artwork.

This will be the first album Spears' will not do any promotion for prior to the release because of her legal troubles. There was no tour planed originally to support the album, but new sources now say Spears' is seeking dancers for a comeback tour. [9][10]

Internet leaks

The album was originally due to be released on November 12, 2007 in the UK but due to leaks on the internet (eleven of the songs have been leaked) and the success of "Gimme More" it will now come out two weeks earlier on October 29, 2007.[11] Jive Records stated that due to numerous unauthorized online leaks, Jive is doing everything possible to prevent and avoid any further illegal distribution of songs including moving up the worldwide release date of the album to October 30, 2007.

Internet blogger Perez Hilton is being sued by Zomba Label Group for posting at least ten unfinished or complete tracks on his website.[12]

Singles

  • Websites such as X17online.com have claimed the second single from the album will be "Piece of Me" and claim that Spears will be shooting a video for it soon.[14]
